June was rough for me. Strategy felt like it was falling apart some days. I barely squeaked out a few small payouts and honestly started doubting myself a few of those days. ⠀.Trading is so mental. When you lose confidence, mistakes creep in, rules get broken. It's a dangerous

Once again, price respecting the exact same channels later in the day
I get mocked plenty for my use of trendlines. But when you combine them with additional confluences and the concept of liquidity building & traps, they map out exactly where price is headed. Most traders don’t realize how precise these lines can be. Here's an example from this.

8. The difference between “random trendlines” and actionable ones is context. Layer confluences + understand where liquidity is building (and being trapped) →. The trendlines reveal the trade, down to the tick. Learned this from Eric @ SPYDayTrading — hundreds of free YouTube.

7. TP Hit . Target: yesterday’s upper VWAP band. Hit clean. Could have held for more, but I hit my profit target for the day. and it's Friday.

6. The trigger:. After that rejection, buyers defended the lower VWAP band with conviction, keeping the precision channel intact. From there, price reclaimed:.✅ Precision channel.✅ Lower blue channel line.✅ 21EMA. The 9:35 candle wick respected the channel to the tick.

5. NY Open:. First break of blue + white channels looked tempting….…but price rejected at the upper VWAP band (confluence with blue, white & precision channel tops). Patience here = survival. Now I want to see if price dips but holds the lower bound of my precision channel.

4. The precision channel:. Drawn from yesterday’s EOD rally & confirmed by that pre-market reclaim. For any long, I need price to respect the lower bound of this channel. A clean break below = trade invalidated.

3. Pre-NY Open:. Minutes before the bell, price broke magenta, reclaiming the lower VWAP band and 21EMA on rising volume. Early read: buyers active + momentum shifting

2. London session clues:. - Blue channel built liquidity for a later move.- Sharp selloff into magenta channel (liquidity trap). These two structures were my framework for the morning.

1. Bias before the open:. Overnight London session closed a cup → expecting a handle to form. That set my lean bullish coming into NY.

Success in trading demands a rock solid identity built on consistent habits. You can’t expect steady profits with erratic routines. Start small, commit to daily actions like quick study of markets, journaling trades, or refining your strategy. Nothing spectacular just.

I once believed top traders were fearless, immune to doubt. Boy was I wrong. The best traders feel fear, the volatility, losses, uncertainties, but they don’t freeze. They act despite it, sticking to their systems. Fear signals caution, not paralysis. They log trades,.

Most traders chase massive payouts, swinging for home runs with oversized positions, no stops, and reckless full-send bets. Only to inevitably blow their accounts and scapegoat the prop firm. Well, time to play it differently. Small, calculated trades, pristine setups, and.

If your self worth hinges on a green day, the foundation of your trading is already flawed. Tying your value to market swings or daily wins sets you up for a rollercoaster of doubt. True execution is rooted in inner stability, not fleeting outcomes. When confidence depends.

Boredom is the price of excellence. True mastery demands relentless practice, often repetitive and unglamorous. The grind of perfecting a skill can feel monotonous, but it’s in those quiet, tedious moments that greatness is forged. Embracing the discomfort of routine.

Today was one of those days where I hesitated for no real reason, just my mind playing games. System said short, I listened… kind of. Bad entry, oversized, got emotional. Took profit the moment I saw green, then watched price flush exactly how I expected. Felt the emotions.

Profitability isn’t chasing flawless trades, it’s stacking probabilities in your favor. Remember that you're here to make money not to be right so let go of seeking perfection. A decent win rate, let's say 60%, combined with a consistent 2:1 risk to reward ratio, could be all.

Your beliefs shape your reality. If you believe your potential is limited, your results will reflect that ceiling. To elevate your performance, you must first upgrade your mindset. Embrace the idea that growth is limitless, challenges are opportunities, and effort fuels.

I know you want to succeed so much and so quick but there's no shortcut in trading. Things like chasing hot tips, overleveraging, or skipping due diligence may seem like the path to quick money but it usually backfires, leading to blown accounts, missed entries, or prolonged.

Trading is a game of probabilities, not certainties. The reality is, even the best strategies can lead to losses, and that’s okay. Once we accept this, it frees us from the need for every trade to be a winner. It also stops us from forcing trades out of desperation or.
